I haven't decided yet whether I should sign up to Newzbin or Newzleech SuperSearch, but because I am using the Alt.Binz program I think I will try Newzbin first. Although it does have the have the option to put in your SuperSearch license key, so I might go for both. Anyway, I have some downloading to do.

    ...Maxed out ALL the friging time! Awesome!

    Brothas and sistas! I think we have a new convert to newsgroups.

    Indeed. And its still going strong. Seedboxes and uploading can kiss my brown ass because I am maxed out all the friging time - sounds like a tagline to me, 'Get Newsgroups and you will be maxed out all the friging time'©. If Giganews or anybody wants to license that tagline from me, I am open to offers.....

    Newsgroups are definitely much more convenient than the average torrent. no ratio requirements, always max out your connection. However, torrents tend to have much faster pre times.

    I wouldn't know about pre times because by the time I downloaded it on a torrent it would have been upped hours ago on usenet sometimes days

    BTW I do use torrents and they are awesome but for specialist areas like UKNova. Having said that for example the last episode of Born Survivor showed on usenet. Thats EP03, EP04 went out tonight will try to see where it pops up first.

    Edit:
    Just checked newsgroups released this episode around midnight last night UKN had it added to it's tracker 5:30am this morning. On this occasion usenet won on the pre time. It appears to have originally been capped from IIRC. I was asleep anyway so it is all meaningless.

    I am converted aswell, feels good downloading at full speed without thinking about leaving the rar files for seeding.
